Composition of Makeup:

According to The History of Cosmetics, each makeup product has different ingredients to do their individual job best.
The ingredients for each product are:


Lipstick: Wax, oils, alcohol and pigments.


Mascara: Mascara is used to make a persons eyelashes longer and accentuate the eyes by adding more volume. It changes a persons look drastically and can make the eyes look much bigger and more awake. It is usually made from water, waxes, thickeners and dyes.


Face Powders and Foundations: Foundations and face powders are used to conceal the blemishes or imperfections on a persons face and hence make the skin look flawless. Foundations and face powders have many different ingredients for different formulas of the products. They are made from various organic products, oils, minerals, perfumes and pigments. Some of these include castor oil, pearl essence, carmine, sodium chloride and pigments to fit the different skin tones of different people.

Makeup:

Makeup, also known as cosmetics, are things such as powder or lipstick which are used by people to enhance their facial features. Makeup has improved and developed a lot over the past few years and men and women have made careers for themselves through this industry. An example of this type of career is becoming a beauty blogger through video or a word post, mostly speaking about products that blogger likes to use, giving tutorials on how they use them and sometimes giving reviews on certain products they have been using.

Steve Hasher who worked at Estee Lauder, says that formulating makeup is a cross between cooking and real chemistry as odd as it sounds. Chemists and makeup engineers are always working on ways of improving makeup products and creating new products and accessories for makeup. Every product contains multiple ingredients that have been researched upon by scientists and advanced technology  to find the perfect formula for that product.
